ICT Policy



Aims:


To support learning by
  • providing user friendly, high end facilities to encourage learning.
  • improving the attitudes and abilities of all.
  • providing opportunities for all to become confident and competent in using their ICT skills.
  • encouraging an atmosphere where learning is enjoyable & valued by all.
  • enabling the management of the learning, including delivery, monitoring, assessment & evaluation.

Key Principles:


Learners are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their learning and develop informed attitudes in relation to ICT in society.
Learners have opportunities to develop systematic skills in the use of ICT tools such as managing and manipulating digital information.
Learners should have expectations for continuing but realistic progress in the use of ICT.
Learners should see the use of ICT as a rich and effective means of learning, improving the facilitation of learning and the productivity of the learning process.

Method of Implementation:


A clear statement of this policy is issued to all stakeholders.
This policy is the basis for the development of ICT at whole school level (SMT) and Departmental/Faculty level (Middle Management).
Within each faculty/department the Faculty Head/Head of Department is responsible for ensuring the effective overall management of ICT.
Each classroom teacher is responsible for maximising the use of available ICT to support effective learning & teaching.
All staff will be regularly consulted about their ICT development needs and actively supported in meeting them through appropriate CPD
SMT will consult with MMF/CST/SST to ensure that appropriate ICT resources are made available throughout the school, subject only to the availability of finance.
